Xbox Game Pass |OT| Our Backlogs Are Doomed

Almost done with Gears Tactics just in time to start Yakuza 3. Still feels crazy to me, that in the initial months of having a Series X, my gameplay time would be dominated by Yakuza games!

No auto HDR in Desperados 3, aw too bad :frowning:

Cyber Shadow is already available!

I’d love ā€œchannelsā€ or ā€œfranchiseā€ sections in the GamePass app/page.

Like a page for nothing but Gears. A page for all the Yakuza games. A page for all the Elder Scrolls.

Then a ā€œIf you like X, then you should try Yā€.

man, Cyber Shadow is hard as shit, and not entirely without fault, the movement is extremely simplified at least for how much I’ve played making certain sections more annoying than challenging.

Aren’t genre specific lists much more interesting for discovery? Like, you’ve played a lot of Fallout; maybe The Outer Worlds or Wasteland 3 is your jam.

Yakuza, The Medium…and then Control and The Division 2 updates next week. Pretty good weeks ahead !

Yakuza up yet?!

They’ll probably be available to play in ~4 hours.

I was looking at the PC Game Pass app and saw Prison Architect listed in the coming soon section. Was this announced before? I don’t recall seeing it announced for Game Pass.

Started playing Yakuza 0 today, story is already interesting and I’m only at the early parts. Really enjoying the combat here.

So which Yakuza is Xbox still missing? I saw Yakuza 6, I believe there was even one set in Feudal Japan? One with zombies and Judgment. So four more?

Yakuza 6 is coming in March so we’ll get that soon. Then there’s Dead Souls (the zombie spinoff) but I think SEGA would rather just forget about it. There are also the two samurai spinoffs, Kenzan and Ishin, though both of them have not been released in the west yet. I don’t know about Kenzan, but SEGA has expressed interest in localizing Ishin, and I’m sure it will come to Xbox if it ever happens. Judgment is the one I want the most, hopefully it happens sometime soon, though I don’t mind waiting since I have plenty of Yakuza games to play in the meantime.

I’m guessing a ā€œtrip to New Zealandā€ won’t help me play the medium early?

Oh wow, 6 is coming? How did I miss that. So today we get 3,4 and 5 and in March 6 on Game Pass? It’s crazy how big Phil (and SEGA) are delivering here.

We have every mainline Yakuza apart from 6 which is available in March. Outside of that we’re missing some spinoffs and games that were never localised.

Really weird. No announcement for this and the 27th has almost passed in Europe.

The game’s store page says it releases on the 28th – probably a timezone confusion. A Windows 10 achievements list has been found for a couple of weeks now, and that usually indicates that a game is joining Game Pass PC.

The lack of announcement is indeed odd, though.

Prison Architect is now available for Game Pass PC:
